The more interesting part I think is control node (YBA) python which with stable versions has shifted to requiring 3.10-3.12, whereas before we were allowing 3.8. This will affect customers upgrading as they will need to upgrade the python on their system before they upgrade YBA. The target node (DB or server nodes) python version hasn't changed that much, we just allow more and only 3.6+ rather than 3.5+. For airgapped is it clear that the AMI they provide has to have python installed, we won't try to install it? That was the start of this whole python docs improvement right. |

| Both python and python3 must symbolically link to Python 3. One way to achieve this is to use alternatives. For example: | ||
|
|
||
| ```sh | ||
| sudo yum install @python38 -y | ||
| sudo yum install @python310 -y |

I would leave 3.8 as recommended, and honestly just keep this as 3.8+ I think that's going to be more correct going forward. If somebody complains we can tell them 3.6 still should work but I don't think we want to officially document supporting it bc then people will try to install it.

| YBA v2024.1 and later requires Python v3.10-3.12. If you are running YBA on a system with Python earlier than 3.10, you will need to update Python on your system before you can upgrade YBA to v2024.1 or later. | |||

Or actually 2.25+, bc that will be the preview before 2025.1 released. we don't even have that on docs yet though so maybe this isn't needed?
